I have major writer's block right now so this chapter might be a little bit short or something. So I apologize in advance now let the chapter begi-
IF: You've kept us out of the story for too long Renx18!
Compa: Ren-Ren you're being mean! It's time for your shots!
Ahhh! This is almost worse than Iris Heart! Calm down, calm down! I'm putting you in this chap-... Zzzzzzzzz…. Zzzzzzzzz…
IF: Compa you didn't let her finish!
Compa: Oops! Sorry Iffy. *sweats*
IF: *sighs* it's fine… What did you give her anyways? She's out cold.
Compa: It's perfectly fine, I just gave her an overdose of Benad*yl!
Uzume: Ummm…. Compsy, I'm not sure if that's healthy… Don't we need Rensy to write the chapter?
Compa: We'll be taking over from here! Don't worry about Ren-Ren she'll be fine!
IF: Compa, Peashy, Rom, Uzume! Dinner's ready!
Compa: Oh! Did you cook it yourself Iffy? Everyone else is out shopping.
IF: *blushes* I just followed a recipe, i-it's no big deal or anything!
Peashy: Pea wants to eat yummy food!
Compa: Iffy this is delicious!
Peashy: It's like Pea's tastebuds are flying! *Gobbles it down* The rishe ish dehicioush *talks with mouthful*
Compa: Pea-Pea! You shouldn't talk with your mouth full!
Uzume: What is this!
Rom: It's s-scary!
IF: Jeez! It's just shiritaki mushrooms!
Compa: Iffy spent a long time making dinner for us! And being a picky eater isn't good for you!
Peashy: Being a picky eater is lame! *makes a face and sticks her tongue out*
Uzume: L-lame! *goes pale*

(Charlie's perspective)
I finally landed at Planeptune's basilicom. Rom and Ram need to rest, Compa can take care of them.
"Are you okay Char-Char? Where are Ro-Ro and Ra-Ra?" Compa asked.
"We encountered an ancient dragon and it defeated them. I gave them life fragments but they're still unconcious. I think you should have a look at them." Charlie responded
Compa left and right after Nepgear and Alicia came in with groceries alongside IF who had just come back from her share of quests.
"Oh. Hi Charlie. Where are Rom and Ram?" Nepgear wondered as she came in.
"They're with Compa. She's checking their wounds since they passed out in our fight with an ancient dragon." Charlie answered.
I have to tell them now.
"Nepgear… Alicia… there's something I need to tell you." I said awkwardly.
So I told them everything about the encounter with Uzume in Heart Dimension.
(Alicia's perspective)
WHAT?!
Why did Charlie not tell me about this earlier? He's our father, didn't he know how much this would mean to me… still, maybe he was just trying to protect my feelings.
"So are you suggesting that the ancient dragon you fought was tainted by negative energy that hurt Rom and Ram?" I asked trying to keep my voice from trembling.
"Yes. I think that's why it affected them so much." Charlie responded. I couldn't help but pick up the faintest hint of crying, but Nepgear didn't seem to notice.
"But what can we do about it? If what you say is true then we are helpless against them. If that's what Kurome could do to your dad then think about what she could do to us," Nepgear pointed out, "Plus we can't even go to the heart dimension."
Even though I secretly agreed with Nepgear, I felt a pang of sympathy for my brother. It must have been really hard for him to relive this telling us and Nepgear's saying that there's nothing we can do about it.
"I'm sorry Charlie but I agree with Nepgear. We at least have to rescue the CPU's before we go into an unknown dimension to face an undefeatable enemy," I tried to soothe him, "Tell you what, why don't we rescue the CPU's and then think about it."
I could see the fear, the anger, and the depths of sadness that I knew all too well in his eyes.
Wait a second! Don't you think that's a bit too deep and melancholy for this story?
*Sighs* Never mind that. You've ruined the moment, carry on.
"I thought you of all people would understand Alicia." His voice was cold but his eyes betrayed his pain and sorrow. He stalked away to see Rom and Ram
"Charlie wait-" I called after him.
"It's okay Alicia. He'll calm down. He just needs time to see where our priorities are." Nepgear interrupted.
Then Uni called.
"N-nepgear come help Lastation is under attack- I have to go CFW Magic is-" Uni broke off
"Uni?! Come on let's go!" Nepgear shouted
"But what about Charlie, Rom, and Ram?" I asked.
"There's no time! You two can make up later!" Nepgear transformed.
Oh please don't let me die in this battle! I'll never forgive myself if I leave things like this! I uttered a quick prayer to whoever was watching and transformed to follow Nepgear
(Charlie's Perspective)
I know I shouldn't have been so hard on Nepgear and Alicia. But what was I supposed to do?! I just don't want anymore people that are close to me to get hurt and the ancient dragon… it must mean that Kurome broke her seal and I have to stop her.
But I can't do it alone, a little voice in my head whispered.
I won't go out now but I will get my revenge on Kurome, I swore.
I went to go check on Rom and Ram and to my relief saw that they were waking up, thanks to Compa's gentle care.
"Rom, Ram are you okay?" I asked concerned.
"Uh-huh. We're fine Mr. Charlie." Rom said.
"That dummy beat us but we'll get it back next time!" Ram exclaimed
"Uh-huh." Rom agreed, nodding her head.
"You can't. That dragon has negative energy, it could drain all of your share energy and send you into a whirlpool of delusion!" I said.
"That's so scary." Rom whimpered. I noticed she was shaking.
"You scare Rom you dummy! Now I'm gonna have nightmares." Ram shouted.
"Calm down you too. Your nurse says you have to rest, you'll need all of your strength when you go to rescue your sisters in a few days." Compa stated gently.
That soon! I almost forgot. Am I even coming?
"You have to rest too Char-Char. Your leg is purple!" Compa said.
I realized that she was right. The gash I got in my leg a few days ago must have gotten infected.
I honestly forgot about it. It felt like lifetimes ago…
(Nepgear's perspective)
We flew to Lastation with Alicia flying right behind me.
"No!" Alicia gasped.
I looked around to see what had made Alicia panic like that. Then I saw it, Lastation was in ruins and in the middle of it all, there was CFW Magic standing over Uni's limp body.
I am so sorry that took so long to come out! I really am. I know I haven't released a chapter for months and I won't be mad if you all send comments at me like an angry mob with pitchforks. However I won't spend a long time on extra dialogue as I want to get this out as soon as I can.
Rom: Please forgive Ms. Ren. She's had a lot of exams and essays due in the last few months and she hasn't been able to write at all.
Nepgear: Good job Rom. Well we won't keep you waiting so we'll stop now but I just want to let you know that the next chapter might not come out for a while but Renx18 will try his/her best. Thank you!
